Most of the roads where I live don't have cars parked alongside them, they are country roads, so there is no chance of a car door opening on them. But that is by the by.

Of course I try to avoid the cyclists, but most of the time there is only so much space you can give them with cars coming the other way.

I think that cyclists should pay road tax and insurance if they want to drive on the roads like motorists. My car was struck by a cyclist once, unfortunately he was uninjured, but the wing of my car was damaged. I couldn't claim insurance from the foolish hippy and he refused to pay for his mistake.
